We return to oil painting with Alexei Antonov and his special piece «The rose». A work to admire at how the light projects on that rose where the flower is the only one that welcomes the color to be surrounded by the coldness in the tones, the thorns of its leaves and that vessel that supports it.
It is in the way how light works where you can admire the work of Antonov to take us to an artistic work that denotes a great devotion to romanticism and that can be reminiscent of that contrast from Beauty and the Beast.
A 59-year-old Russian artist who has been working for various magazines as an illustrator and graphic artist and that you can find more high-quality works that seek hyper-realism in some of them, to pass before others that seek experimentation. It is from his bio that he comments that he has always been painting with each of his hands as he is ambidextrous in seeking a different way to approach his art and style.
He worked for rock and pop music groups and has always been studying the classics as Rubens are, Van Dyke and Snyders. With a style that is directed towards the classics and that is noticeable in each of his works, he now lives in the United States which has allowed him to share part of his work.
A rather significant oil painting for that fragility and sensitivity that is found as a whole and in those details that can be found, plus what is that spotlight from the top that is excellently achieved.
You have on the web for know the rest of his work and follow him on on Facebook to be attentive to the evolution of your next pieces.
For other parts but in oil, the movie about Van Gogh.
